Nature
The sun caught me up today The colors of the sky danced in front of my eyes The change, moment by moment Much as life changes To sit and freeze a moment is not living Living requires a new breath A new life brought right through A breath, a glance, the colors Ever changing, ever flowing What is up ahead? How will it change? One will only know if they are a part A part of it all Watching, waiting, living So much of life is on the sidelines I want to be all in I want to see, and…

One day
One day it will all come together The reasons and the whys will all make sense The hope and gratitude of the journey will make sense The day will come soon The evidence of work will be shown The love of life will be evident One day it will come The way of the newness of it all It will become clear and concise The day will come It will flow steadily It will have peace and tranquility The waves will become calm They will be looked upon with a sigh They will be welcomed and enjoyed One day, soon,…

Leaves
The gentle wind blows The leaves dance They fall, fall, fall The tree is in a gentle sway They leaves move back and forth The tree is letting go The rain will come and Shower the tree It will remove all that was The tree knows the cycle Each year it grows a little more A few more leaves The nest lies in the tree Hanging on by its last thread It has long been empty Another tree nearby has life The bee searches and finds its flower Its wings too fast to see This tree gives life in a…

What if?
What if those years were not in vain? What if you think about how you grew How you affected the people placed in your life? How about the fact that you are still here? You lived through one of the hardest things You still have breath in your lungs and a smile on your face Those things created you. They created the resilience unknown to many It created that women you look back in the mirror What if, for just one moment, you think about who you became What gets you moving now? What keeps you putting one step in…

Shift
Today a shift happened I was not expecting it I learned something about me It is about me now It is about what I want and what is in me It was there before and it is coming back out I saw the reactions of people Their anger and bitterness on their face I felt it in my soul, and I did not like it I wanted to get up and leave, but did not I did not expect that intensity Anger and bitterness of being in a job you no longer enjoy What is this life about? Do they…

Never
As I am awake this morning A thought comes through my brain They will never know They will never know how it felt to be unloved They will never know how it felt to be unwanted Just like I will never know what they went through Time to let go of the hands that held so tightly I may fall and that is okay A soft ground will catch me and move me into the next step I can not expect anyone to understand I can not expect anyone to feel what I did It what was what it was…

Heart
I housed them for nine months I nurtured them with my very breasts Four beautiful wonderful children They didn’t ask to be here But they were wanted by me Now I am not needed by them. Their cuts, scraps, and scars I know them too well They know none of mine I have to let go and move on They do not want me or need me They tend to thier own scars now They make the decisions for their lives I am not in control of them anymore The years I had them I loved But my time is…

Grateful for the journey
The love I have can be found It can be found in the heart In the struggle of what was In the struggle of what will be. I am in the struggle but it is over. There is no longer a push and pull. I will not be pushed. The love I have for me will grow.
